Setting a higher public
safety standard: |
| Current Iowa law requires children under the age of 6 to be in appropriate child passenger safety seats, a booster seat, or a seat belt, and children ages 6 to 11 to use a restraint system or car seat. Recommendations from both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) provide more substantial guidelines for keeping your child safe and are outlined below. |
